Birra Moretti, The Official Unofficial Beer Of Bocce!

Birra Moretti, Italy’s classic beer made in the traditional way since 1859, is teaming up with Bocce, the country’s beloved pastime, to encourage consumers to come together and enjoy these two great Italian classics with friends, family and fellow patrons at their favorite local bar, at home or at other outdoor social gatherings this fall.

“Bocce ball is a fun

and social game that anyone can play,” said Amberly Hilinski, Senior Brand Manager for Birra Moretti, Five Points Trading Company. “The game has a vintage, throwback appeal and is enjoying a renaissance in the U.S. today. We are excited to provide on-premise and retail accounts with a program that pairs these two great Italian classics to help drive consumer engagement and increase sales of Birra Moretti Lager and La Rossa.”

To activate ‘Get the Ball Rolling’, Birra Moretti is partnering with local Bocce leagues in Boston to build awareness and consumer engagement. On-premise, branded bocce POS elements along with glassware, tap handles, table tents, coasters and magnetized scoreboards will be available to elevate the consumer experience and encourage patrons to join in the fun of a friendly bocce competition with a cold Birra Moretti Lager or La Rossa.

At retail (where legal), custom designed POS materials including posters and tuck cards along with bocce kit display enhancers will invite consumers to choose Birra Moretti and bocce to enhance their social gatherings whether at home or other outdoor locations. Local radio and out of home advertising will amplify the program and drive consumer engagement.

“Birra Moretti is made using only the finest raw ingredients including a special blend of hops that give the beer its distinctive taste and fragrance,” added Hilinski. “It is crafted in appreciation of timeless Italian culture and traditions. Pairing Birra Moretti, Italy’s beer, with bocce is a natural.”
